The performance of adults ranging in age from 20 to 86 on two nonlexical tasks that required different types of counting operations was examined. Subproportional age effects for incrementing speed and for enumeration speed (counting 5 to 8 items) indicate that some types of counting processes are exempt from the slowing effects of aging. Increased age was associated with a diminished frequency and slowing of subitizing (counting < or = 4 items) as well as with slowing in the speed of initiating the incrementing process, but the course of age-related slowing for these measures is described by different functions. These results indicate that cognitive slowing is not equivalent for different types of processes involved in counting and numerosity judgments.

SLC25A1 promotes lymph node metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by regulating lipid metabolism.
Int J Oncol

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, Shandong 250021, P.R. China.
Solute carrier family 25 member 1 (SLC25A1) affects lipid metabolism and energy regulation in multiple types of tumor cell, affecting their proliferation and survival. To the best of our knowledge, however, the impact of SLC25A1 on the proliferation and survival of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells has yet to be explored. Here, SLC25A1 expression was detected in ESCC tissues and cell lines.

1. Analysis of co-occurrence data with traditional indices has led to many problems such as sensitivity of the indices to prevalence and the same value representing either a strong positive or strong negative association across different datasets. In our recent study (Mainali et al 2022), we revealed the source of the problems that make the traditional indices fundamentally flawed and unreliable-namely that the indices in common use have no target of estimation quantifying degree of association in the non-null case-and we further developed a novel parameter of association, alpha, with complete formulation of the null distribution for estimating the mechanism of affinity.

Advanced Care Research Centre, Usher Institute, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
Background: Clinical guideline development preferentially relies on evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). RCTs are gold-standard methods to evaluate the efficacy of treatments with the highest internal validity but limited external validity, in the sense that their findings may not always be applicable to or generalizable to clinical populations or population characteristics. The external validity of RCTs for the clinical population is constrained by the lack of tailored epidemiological data analysis designed for this purpose due to data governance, consistency of disease or condition definitions, and reduplicated effort in analysis code.

Hypothesis: Coherent structures by low-Stokes-number particles are induced within a closed flow, in which ordered flow regions known as Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) tori emerge. A variety of structures with different spatial characteristics has been predicted by varying the Stokes number, whereas the coexistence of structures in flow suspending various types of particles has not been hitherto demonstrated.
Experiments: Half-zone liquid bridges of O () are prepared as a closed system to induce thermocapillary-driven time-dependent flow under normal gravity conditions.
The causal relationship between immune cells and hepatocellular carcinoma: a Mendelian randomization (MR).

Objective: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a complex and multifaceted disease that is increasingly prevalent globally. The involvement of immune cells in the tumour microenvironment has been linked to the progression of HCC, but the exact cause-and-effect relationship is not yet clear. In this study, we utilise Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the potential causal links between immune factors and the development of HCC.
